How can I convert a date and time into a time only using angular-moment?

Question

So I have dates like this:

$scope.sample_time = "September 14th 2017, 1:00:00 pm";

And in my view, I want to only show the time like example 1:00 pm.

Using angular-moment, I tried something like {{ sample_time | amParse:'HH:mm a'}} but I get 2017-09-14T06:00:00.000Z.

Am I missing something here? Any help would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

Because "September 14th 2017, 1:00:00 pm" is not a default valid date, you need to parse it first, by the corresponding format you use (which is 'MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a' ), then you got a valid date and can use amDateFormat to format it: amDatFormat:'HH:mm a'

{{ sample_time | amParse:'MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a' | amDateFormat: 'H:mm s'}}
